Laura Nyro

Lite A Flame

“Sometimes the meaning of the lyric is in the sound of the lyric. Just the way that it feels and sounds. The rhythm I fell into with this song was almost a rhythm an elephant might walk in. The song has to do with elephants and animal rights.”Laura Nyro (262)

Broken Rainbow

“I wrote this song for a Native American documentary and the title was given to me.”Laura Nyro (263)

Emmie

“My mother died many years ago and her favorite song was Emmie. There wasn’t a real Emily that I wrote it for. It’s kind of the eternal feminine.”Laura Nyro (264)
